Chapter 101: A little trick

The salesperson happened to return with the purchase contract and was frozen in place by Gu Yunzhou's words.

Not knowing what had happened, she stood at the door, at a loss, neither entering nor retreating.

Gu Lianxing snorted coldly and turned her head away indifferently.

Shen Ci watched their childish bickering and slowly stopped smiling: "Alright, alright, the staff member is being scared by you two."

Gu Yunzhou then noticed the salesperson at the door, exhaled, and sat back in his chair obediently.

Seeing this, Shen Ci proactively invited the salesperson in and explained with a smile: "They're just joking, don't be afraid."

The young girl nodded awkwardly. After coming to Shen Ci's side, she quickly regained her professional attitude and explained carefully: "Please take a look at this purchase contract. This car has three types of configurations. The base configuration has a landing price of about 700 yuan, the advanced configuration is about 850 yuan, and the top configuration is the most expensive, with the full set exceeding 1,000 yuan."

"The difference must be quite large, right?" Shen Ci asked.

Although it was the same car, the price difference between the configurations was so huge that the experience would likely be very different.

The salesperson nodded: "That's for sure. The top configuration is the most superior in all aspects of the car's performance. Of course, the base configuration is completely sufficient for most people. If you don't have such extreme pursuits for the car, the base model is the choice with the highest cost-performance ratio."

In short, if you pursue the ultimate, choose the top configuration; if you pursue cost-performance, choose the base model.

"I want the top configuration."

Shen Ci checked the box for the top configuration directly and left her detailed information and signature.

Gu Lianxing and Gu Yunzhou watched Shen Ci sign and pay decisively, both showing a look of slight surprise.

Gu Yunzhou was shocked and felt Shen Ci was even more special. He had never seen a girl choose a "top-configuration Kulinan" when buying a car, starting at 1,000 yuan with a wave of her hand.

Gu Lianxing was purely shocked. After a long while, she came to her senses and couldn't help but say: "Darling, there's no need to buy such an expensive car, right?"

Her friends also bought cars, but basically none exceeded 300 yuan.

"I like that car," Shen Ci said to Gu Lianxing: "Liking it is the most important thing."

This reason was simple and direct, leaving no room for rebuttal. Gu Lianxing nodded with an expression of "I don't understand, but I respect it."

Twenty minutes later, the salesperson sent them to the door: "Ms. Shen, take care. If you have any questions later, feel free to message me."

Shen Ci smiled and nodded. Gu Yunzhou, standing to the side, put on his sunglasses and greeted them: "It's quite hot today, shall I drive you two back?"

Gu Lianxing looked at him vigilantly, as if guarding against a thief.

"Stop playing tricks!"

It wasn't that she refused, though. Gu Lianxing pulled Shen Ci into Gu Yunzhou's car, and the two sat in the back seat together.

This was a "Rolls-Royce four-seater Phantom," with a landing price less than half of Shen Ci's "Kulinan," but this was just one of all the cars Gu Yunzhou loved.

Seeing this, Wang Chuang walked to Gu Yunzhou's side and asked curiously: "Did you get the WeChat?"

Gu Yunzhou shrugged and shook his head.

"Huh? There's a girl that even you, Young Master Gu, can't handle?"

Wang Chuang felt a bit surprised. This girl was indeed quite beautiful, but based on Gu Yunzhou's past experience, he had never been stuck on the step of adding WeChat.

After all, he had even dated celebrities and supermodels.

Gu Yunzhou, on the contrary, wasn't angry or annoyed, but smiled meaningfully: "It's hard to say whether I can handle her or not. Don't speak too soon. It's just adding a WeChat; I have my own ways!"

On the way to take Shen Ci and the other back, Gu Yunzhou was rarely quiet, only saying a few words occasionally, spending most of the time driving attentively.

Until he dropped Shen Ci off at her door, he didn't mention adding WeChat again.

This unusual behavior made Gu Lianxing even more suspicious.

"Bye-bye!"

Gu Yunzhou rolled down the window and waved at them, turning around and leaving decisively, causing Gu Lianxing to frown and mutter: "What bad thing is he plotting again?!"

Seeing this, Shen Ci smiled helplessly: "Don't be so paranoid. I think your brother is quite interesting."

"Darling, don't be fooled by appearances. He has many tricks up his sleeve; otherwise, how could he change girlfriends one after another?"

Shen Ci nodded: "I understand. I'm not stupid; I won't be easily fooled."

In fact, Shen Ci wanted to say that frequently changing partners out of a craving for temporary freshness and excitement is also a form of dating. As long as it doesn't hurt others and is consensual, every interpersonal relationship has its own logic for existing.

Shen Ci felt that there is essentially no difference between breaking up after dating for a week and breaking up after dating for two months. Those who date for several years before breaking up have higher trial-and-error costs, and those who shout that their youth was fed to the dogs are the ones who do that.

So which dating model has a better experience? That is entirely a matter of opinion, because they are all personal choices.

But Shen Ci didn't say this, because she knew Gu Lianxing was thinking of her. Moreover, she had long since stopped believing in love, and no matter how clever Gu Yunzhou's methods were, they wouldn't have any effect on her.

After the two returned to the villa, Gu Lianxing went upstairs to take a shower immediately. In this ghostly October weather, you could break into a sweat after being out for two minutes.

Shen Ci slowly returned to her room to find clean clothes, then subconsciously picked up her phone and took a look, finding a small red dot on her WeChat contacts.

"cloud requests to add you as a friend"

Shen Ci was slightly stunned and clicked on the other party's profile.

"Age 23"

"Gender Male"

The avatar wasn't a photo either.

Thinking it might be a project member from the "Waiting for a fated person" group, Shen Ci didn't think much and clicked accept.

The other party immediately sent the first message: "I managed to add you on WeChat after all!"

Shen Ci looked at the message, blinked, and suddenly laughed: "Gu Yunzhou?"

"Uh-huh! How about it, Shen Ci? Am I amazing? Lianxing wouldn't give it to me, but I still have a way to add you!"

Shen Ci entered the bathroom while replying to the message.

"You didn't spend a fortune to investigate my personal information, did you?"

"How could I? I don't do things as tacky as human-flesh searches. When you were signing the contract at the 4S store today, I memorized your phone number."

Shen Ci realized, and at the same time couldn't help but marvel at Gu Yunzhou's memory and little tricks.

Gu Lianxing was right; he really did have a trick up his sleeve.

Gu Yunzhou immediately sent an invitation: "Come out tonight. It's rare to have a National Day holiday, isn't it boring to stay at home every day?"

"I know Lianxing must have painted me as a worthless scumbag in front of you, but don't worry, I definitely have a sense of propriety. I just want to invite you out to play purely."

Five minutes later...

"Why aren't you replying to my message?"

"Okay, I admit it, I am interested in you, but I promise I won't mess around. You can come with Lianxing. With her there, aren't you reassured?"

"/grievance, say something, Shen Ci. You make me look like a dazed fool."

Gu Yunzhou's messages kept coming, but Shen Ci didn't reply simply because she was taking a shower. ===== CHAPTER 102 =====
